STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING

The Hoban strength and conditioning staff assists student-athletes with proper training to be safe, successful and competitive. An overwhelming 95 percent of Hoban students played a sport during 2018-19. All student-athletes benefit from the state-of-the-art health and fitness facility and professional strength and conditioning coaches on staff. 

The Didado Family Health and Fitness Center

Hoban's health and fitness center is comprised of 20,000 square feet of space. The facility contains an athletic performance center, complete with 20 racks, free weights, speed and agility equipment, a turfed sprint area and a mezzanine workout area over the two strength coaches’ offices. There is a wrestling/multipurpose room and a separate wellness area with a variety of cardiovascular machines and free weights for all students and employees. The rehabilitation/training room is used for examinations, taping and treatment by the athletic training staff

Students have the privilege of using renovated locker rooms and an open hallway, which is monitored by a Hoban staff, to gather prior to lifting.
